homemade control arms

Anybody have any pics of their homemade control arms? Is the offset on one side necessary?
 
I've seen control arms where one end, where the bushing is in, that is mounted off center. I guess this would only be necessary if the arm is straight.

how about showing us a pic? I have built my own arms and dont hve an offset in them
 
Well if it isn't necessary it would be easier to not have the offset. How about a picture of your control arms? What are the sizes of the materials used?
Thanks. [email protected]

i built mine with offset it does help for clearence to mounts, used stock rubber bushing and made a sleeve for them. then adj. with 1 1/4 fine thread and large nut welded to tubing, the 1 1/4 is over kill, but i had some laying around and some 1/4 tubing that fit perfect. put grease zerk on the bolt to help lubricate.

i have some bushing sleeves for stock 4 and four good bushing that i can sell to anyone for a good price.
